LosCons came about in 1995. They
started simply enough. Bob "Magic Makowsky and Carlos "Los"
Lourenco, long time friends, got together, networked a few computers together at
Los' home and played Doom together.

This has since evolved into a
sprawling, weekend-long ordeal of head-to-head gaming, cheap food, bad movies
and sleep deprivation. What was once a couple of friends getting together is
now a dark, cluttered room filled with people and machines, gleefully killing
each other via PC.
